Sudipta Karmakar's works are atmospheric and combine a unique accuracy of observation with remarkable technical precision. He has a deep and intuitive understanding of the special advantages of this fluid and sensitive medium for capturing the feel of a particular place or moment and conveys a sense of mystery and romance through sensitive forms and tones. In Karmakars oeuvre there is none of the problematic confusion between tradition and the avant-grade which characterises the works of so many contemporary Indian artists. Instead, he reinvents the glorious tradition of the watercolour and, in doing so, re-evaluates the tradition - much like Paresh Maity - such that it is no longer opposed to modernity.
